Warm your ears in style with your favorite phrase on a double knit headband--ours salutes ski mecca Squaw Valley USA. This design is inspired by Olympic alpine skiing medalist Julia Mancuso who calls Squaw Valley her home mountain.

This pattern will be available in the book Stitch Mountain by Laura Zander which will be available in December 2013.

All of the amazing photography from Stitch Mountain was done by Brad Swonetz: http://www.bradswonetz.com/

Pattern includes chart for entire alphabet so that pattern can be customized. Pattern is only double knit for the few rows after the cast on and before the bind off, in between the pattern is split and wording & border pattern is knit on one side while the inside is striped so that the headband is reversible and can be worn either way.
